"""
Converts dictionary of raw quantities into a meaningful one.
At the end of this initialization, every field but one is filled for
every parameter, be it fixed or varying. The missing field is the
'last_accepted' one, that will be filled in the module :mod:`mcmc`.
The other fields are
`initial`:
initial array of input values defined in the parameter file.
Contains (in this order) `mean`, `minimum`, `maximum`, `1-sigma`.
If the min/max values (**TO CHECK** proposal density boundaries)
are unimportant/unconstrained, use `None` or `-1` (without a period
!)
`scale`:
5th entry of the initial array in the parameter file.
`role`:
6th entry of the initial array, can be `cosmo`, `nuisance` or
`derived`. A `derived` parameter will not be considered as varying,
but will be instead recovered from the cosmological code for each
point in the parameter space.
`tex_name`:
A tentative tex version of the name, provided by the function
:func:`io_mp.get_tex_name`.
`status`:
Depending on the `1-sigma` value in the initial array, it will be
set to `fixed` or `varying` (resp. zero and non-zero)
`current`:
Stores the value at the current point in parameter space (`not
allowed initially`)
.. note::
The syntax of the parameter files is defined here - if one
wants to change it, one should report the changes in there.

- **dictionary** (`dict`) - raw dictionary containing the input
from the parameter file. Its content will be transformed and
processed into the final :attr:`mcmc_parameters`

Attributes
----------
initial : array
Initial array of input values defined in the parameter file.
Contains (in this order) `mean`, `minimum`, `maximum`, `1-sigma`.
If the min/max values (**TO CHECK** proposal density boundaries)
are unimportant/unconstrained, use `None` or `-1` (without a period
!)
scale : float
5th entry of the initial array in the parameter file, defines the
factor with which to multiply the values defined in `initial` to
give the real value.
role : str
6th entry of the initial array, can be `cosmo`, `nuisance` or
`derived`. A `derived` parameter will not be considered as varying,
but will be instead recovered from the cosmological code for each
point in the parameter space.
prior : :class:`Prior <prior.Prior>`
defined through the optional 7th entry of the initial array, can be
ommited or set to `flat` (same), or set to `gaussian`. An instance
of the :class:`prior` defined in :mod:`prior` will be initialized
and set to this value.
tex_name : str
A tentative tex version of the name, provided by the function
:func:`io_mp.get_tex_name`.
status : str
Depending on the `1-sigma` value in the initial array, it will be
set to `fixed` or `varying` (resp. zero and non-zero)
current : float
Stores the value at the current point in parameter space (`not
allowed initially`)
